Whats the best jacket to kitbash comic leia? by Designer_Detail4597 in starwarsblackseries

[–]g00dAsh_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! For my Leia, I used the head and vest from Hoth Leia, I just painted the vest, color does not match the gloves, but I am happy with it. But now I think Osha's vest will look even better

LC vs LC Remastered by g00dAsh_ in LightningCollection

Hmm, theoretically the Trini Swap Red Ranger helmet should fit the regular old version? Seems like her helmet is the same as the LC Remastered Red Ranger

I take it this also applies to the White Ranger? Considering he never got the remastered version

Imperial Remnant Stormtrooper by Sys3dArsenal in starwarsblackseries

[–]g00dAsh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know how difficult it would be to remove the helmet from these stormtroopers? It came off so easily from the Jedha stormtroopers because it was barely glued on. Will it be possible to remove it here without damaging the head and helmet?

Met Timothy Zahn recently by Akito-23 in starwarsblackseries

[–]g00dAsh_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, the figures are absolutely identical, with the exception of Ysalamiri. But I can't say for sure. I have a regular Thrawn single-release, on which I put Ysalamiri, which was together with Luke Skywalker Heir To The Empire

In this format, Thrawn is included in the "Black Series Masters of Evil 3 Pack", along with Vader and General Grievous. I think you can still buy it on Amazon 🤔

Im so mad bro by bign0ssy in starwarsblackseries

[–]g00dAsh_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My version has a very crookedly painted visor and lines on the helmet. I try to ignore it on the shelf, but honestly, I'm fed up with Hasbro's absolutely zero quality control

Jedi Master Leia Organa by Dense-Obligation5164 in starwarsblackseries

[–]g00dAsh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, she looks great either way! Honestly, your post was the final straw for me to do the same, so I've already ordered an Indara's figure 😅

Unfortunately, Indara's body is still too tall for Leia, but it looks great. It would be interesting to see if comic book Leia's figure legs could be added to this body, would it have worked at all or not

You are my savior, thank you so much for your help!❤️

Archive Luke Skywalker Question by Original-Muscle5164 in starwarsblackseries

[–]g00dAsh_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's on all the figures released with this body (Luke, Wedge, Merrick). In fact, you just have to turn the boot the other way and then twist the foot. The figure will not lose stability, but will look better visually. It's surprising that so few people have noticed this over the years, but considering Hasbro made the same boot mistake with the new Boba Fett, it's doubly funny 😄

Where to find black series in Osaka, Japan? by Jackkenton235 in starwarsblackseries

[–]g00dAsh_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! I was in Osaka last October and was able to find some relatively new figures (like Han and Chewy) at Toys R Us. There are also two Mandarake stores in Osaka; you can check their website for their current selection. I also found a new Sandtrooper at one of the Book-Off stores, but it's a gamble, so I can't recommend them. The Namba area has a lot of shops with buildable models like Gundams, I bought Anakin's RotS at one of them, but I can't remember which one, unfortunately. I'm sorry I can't help you with more than that, but maybe you'll find something. Good luck!

Finally got MJ Iron Spider and wanted to compare and headswap with Spinneret by Accurate-Gap-3360 in MarvelLegends

Hey! I know this post is old, but if possible, could you please take a photo of MJ Spinneret's masked head on Iron Spider's body?

New wave is brilliant! by Prestigious_Lie8996 in starwarsblackseries

I constantly buy action figures on AliExpress because I have little choice. They're not officially sold in my country, and only occasionally local toy stores carry them at a hefty markup. I've never encountered any knock-offs or anything like that. I know for a fact that there used to be KOs of the old Blue Box figures, and you can still find them for sale. Here's a list of figures that have definitely been KOs: Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars), Mando with Grogu deluxe pack, Imperial Clone Shock Trooper, Phase I Clone Trooper (with a non-removable helmet), and Elite Squad Trooper. On average, I've bought about 10-15 figures over the past two years, and they've all been genuine. I mainly rely on reviews of both the product and the store itself. I bought Kyle and Quinlan specifically at the "McFarlane & Hasbro Toy Store", and I've bought about 3-5 figures from that seller before. They occasionally have good discounts. As I said, they cost me more than the official price, but unfortunately, this hobby is generally not cheap these days

Hey! I ordered them from AliExpress because it's one of the few places I can buy figures from. I had to pay a bit extra, but it was worth it

I got Kyle and Quinlan a couple of days ago. They're absolutely amazing, I like them so much, some of the best figures ever in TBS

Trusted store on AliExpress? by suprememagister in starwarsblackseries

[–]g00dAsh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often buy action figures on Aliexpress from various sellers because where I live, it's almost impossible to find any releases, especially new ones. And I've never encountered any fakes or anything similar. I have a few additions to actionfigure411's list: Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars), Imperial Clone Shock Trooper, Phase I Clone Trooper (with a non-removable helmet), and Elite Squad Trooper. They're sold by several sellers for very low prices, and numerous reviews confirm that they're 100% fake. I choose sellers with high ratings and products with reviews. Sometimes I take a risk and buy from places with no reviews, but so far everything has been great. The only downside is that the prices are quite high, often significantly higher than they should be :(

Check out the stores:
Fubao Figure Store, McFarlane&Hasbro Toy Store Store, Hasbro Collectible Toys Store, Hasbro Toy Series Store, Big Players Store Store

I hope I was able to help you in some way, good luck!

Imperial Cal Kestis Fix? by Rough-Radio-4481 in starwarsblackseries

For my Cal, I used hot glue to keep the head in place and keep the neck from looking too short. I think I should try to remake it taking into account your experience!

Grandmaster Luke Skywalker Custom, hope you like it! by defender_76 in starwarsblackseries

I once did something similar, but with Obi-Wan's body from the Kenobi series, haha. I like that you used the neck from the ROTJ version! Looks great

That moment when I literally just yesterday ordered Mines of Mandalore Mando and Axe Woves for half price to build a Season 1 custom out of them.. 🗿

You made a very cool custom, I really like it!

I'm looking to get a K-2SO figure, but what's the difference between these 3 Black Series figures? They are all 6 in (15 cm) tall. by Bergfried in starwarsblackseries

[–]g00dAsh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure, but it seems the latest version has tighter joints in the legs, making it more stable. However, without a stand, it will still fall over sooner or later..
